2 Modelling of the island microgrid. Consider the island microgrid system shown in Fig. 1, which consists of the WT, the photovoltaic (PV) array, the controllable MTs, the BES unit, the EV aggregator, several EVs, and the load. Each of component has its own objective and constraints and is described as follows.
The electrical grid exists to supply our electricity demand, ensuring the two are balanced and connecting electrical supply to electrical demand with the transmission and distribution system. In practice, a microgrid works in the exact same way, just for a smaller geographic area, like a couple of buildings or a local community.
Microgrids -- self-contained islands of power generation and consumption -- are still an expensive and experimental alternative to tapping into the "macro-grid" …
